I want to know what you guys think is the most annoying and unfun army to fight.

Necron Decurion makes the top list. But what else is just so cringe worthy?
If I cant win in a tournament, I want to make it a complete waste of your time. I want you to get mad.

EDIT: Unclear original message post leading to a bunch of people jumping to conclusions like a bunch of feminazis accusing men of rape and being misogynist for not supporting feminism. That was a very long stretch anology...

To clarify:

Say what ever army you brought to a tournament and you have to fight what ever top tier list your army is not completely prepared for, what can you do to give your player such a hard headache inducing time but at the same time remain sportsman like. So no intention slowly taking your turn. You are doing this because you know your army wont win but you could possibly get the opponent disqualified from raging so hard he flips tables and throws models.

Example : some one suggested ridding the edge of board to get massive blast templates to go off table.
another thing is setting wound counter dice upwards like instead of wounds left its counting wounds taken so it causes a miss play. Also rolling dice 1 at a time and spinning it to land on a 6 i find annoying but acceptable by the rules.

This is not a casual game. This is a game where you need to win to win a prize or you refuse to play and lose.

Similar to MTG where you flick your card loudly to distract opponents. Or granny shuffle every time you fetch a special land. Or pronounce a card in Japanese accent thinking its all cool but you just a anime fan.

edit: LOLS i am surprised that they censored w33ab00 with anime fan!

Although there is alreadh a thread as crown axe pointed out, I want to learn the most non top tier army list built specifically to annoy the top tier armies.

We already had a pool on this http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/680156.page

Also screw you for making an army just to be a jerk with

Isn't there better things in life than going through games of 40k just to ruin other people's experience?

To answer your question, decurion, tzeentch clown car, wraith knight spam, and warp spider spam.

With that kind of attitude everything will suck. So don't worry! You'll be a bad player no matter what.

I'm sure everyone at the club wants to play with you with that attitude OP.

Back in 5th, during the era of guard leafblower, I was playing a marine bike army.

I kept skirting the edges of the boards for turns 2-5 and he kept throwing blast weapons my way, getting only 2 models under each template, and scattering off the board most of the time.

He rage quit and threw his dice off the board at the start of turn 5, when he still was unable to kill more than one of my models, putting me in line to take 1st at the RTT.

Thats pretty epic dude and smart rather than cheesy. bravo.

Mods can we lock this thread? It's completely counterproductive and will result in:

1) everyone telling the OP how much they hate him

OR

2) literally zero productive tactical discussion

But certainly not anything except for those two things. This belongs in general discussion at best and craigslist at worst.

Personally, I hate fighting imperial knight armies the most. The game is either I have a fair number of tools to try to combat them or I just have to do what I can to minimize damage and accumulate points while accepting I can't remove a single enemy model.

Decurion does not actually bother me that much. If I was playing my Tau it would probably suck, but most of my armies are able to either remove necron units or outmaneuver and outscore them.

This thread isn't complete without the picture of the Tau/Kroot outflanking guy against the White Scar player.

Right?

Never fails. Everything about is just *perfect*.

ITC rulings wanted to play Tau but now I am a necron!

What is happening in that game?

Did you even try playing with the ITC nerfs?

This was 5th I believe. Kroot had outflank which let them deploy on rear table edge (if they rolled right, I think). The white scars player opted for a null deployment starting 2nd. Kroot player out flanked all his Kroot in a perfect 1" spacing all along his opponents edge, meaning the white scars player could not legally deploy his army next turn as there was no space.

No, kroot have infiltrate he has no models on board so he could infiltrate them anywhere on the board.

CrownAxe why should I buy models and play with them knowing that the army is nerf mainly because a handful of people don't like the army? Why not play with a competitive army that has no nerfs or bias towards them such as Marines, Necrons, or Eldar? Even though they are trying to nerf the wraithknight by taking away its cover save but you know I guess its acceptable to do those type of things. Whatever I don't care anymore, I tried being an advocate but I just received hate and its not worth it.

Totally pointless. Tau can't win games any more. I thought about it carefully and came to this conclusion so it's true for everyone

Thanks.

In those days, you could run a hard anti-meta list and sometimes do really well with them. When everyone played IG, you took a list to beat IG and you could do well in 50% of your games -- with a higher percentage of better matchups the higher you went into the rounds.

In 7th, this does not exist as much due to the variety of different armies. You might try a skyhammer to counter the Eldar scatbike/wraithknight spam, only to matchup to a gladius formation who does not care.

That never gets old. The white scar player deserved it.

There is a lot of diversity but this actually does exist to an extent. It's hard to be "anti-meta" since the meta is constantly evolving but one commonality that I've noticed is a lack of flyers and therefore a lack of dedicated anti-air. It's part of why Pajamapants did so well with his Daemons Flying Circus, and is also why Tyranids have exactly one competitive notion - take 4 or 5 flyrants and round out the rest of your list with ground support.

I can see that. I've not ran a Flying Circus army in a while, it would be fun to play one again...and they are fairly affordable dollar wise too....

Number1, People on dakka dakka been hating me for over 4 years!
Number2, Look a what labmouse42 wrote. Now that is some good situational tactics and use of environment!

Now we just need some 7th ed exploits.

The overall point of all of this is to fight cheese with cheese or hate with more hate.

Okay let me give you an example because you need examples.

Why give an example never mind you are right!

Look at the posters history. They've made multiple threads bashing ITC and yet hasn't really played under them (or even without them as he thinks Drone Factory pre-nerf was 100% not cheesy and actually terrible).

Those that are unique are easily mis-understood!

My threads usually have alot of viewers and when I tried to create a positive one it was shutdown because thats how people work! The same way you assume that I am a certain way.

How does that tactic work in 7th? Haven't played much 7th but from what I've seen in the lists area there's still plenty of White Scars bike armies.

An army of just fortifications and drop pods.

THAT would be obnoxious.

ragequit?
lots of boyz. Can be orks, Guard, Gaunts, or other infantry that can be taken in mass. essentially, agree to a timed game, deploy, take the objectives then call time.

and if you don't use all the time alotted, go to the bathroom, get some food, or run home because you forgot 'something'.

The OP makes a new topic on this issue every couple of weeks. Last time I saw it, it was called "how to fight two armies with one" or something like that.

What are you trying to say about the OP? Is there something wrong with discussing things you dislike or believe should be kept in the dark!
